Happy New Year everybody! I hope you enjoyed the evening with friends and family. Hopefully you are also more than ready to embrace a year with me and the Crown Princess.
On occasion of New Year's Eve Queen Margrethe hosted yet another banquet taking place (as always) at Christian VII's Palace, Amalienborg Castle in Copenhagen. This is the finest gala hosted by the Queen. Guests from both the Danish Government, the royal house establishment, representatives of the official Denmark, etc. were invited to take part in the prestiges banquet. More than 60 people were invited. The royal family even posted a little video on how the banquet is prepared. Watch it here.
Guests arrived one by one - some with their partner; some on their on. Journalist and photographers waited with great excitement to welcomed all of them, especially the five royal members. Shortly before the dinner was about to take place Prince Joachim and Princess Marie arrived on to Amalienborg a windy evening. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary followed and Queen Margrethe arrived last as the great hostess she is. All five of them had a huge smiles on their faces and were in a great mood. Watch the arrival in the video embedded down below.

Watching the arrival live on television Mary's brand new gown was identified almost immediately by the designer himself. Maybe you already guessed that the great Jesper Hørving created her new evening gown? But he did. The new creation is from his AW18 collection. A. Hanks identified the model, here. Jesper Høvring has made a few other gowns for Mary worn on New Year's Eve. Do you recall her bright orange gown, here? The midnight blue one, here? And of course the golden one, here? The orange one really caught my attention, so did this gown.
The silhouette is outstanding. It embraced Mary's slim figure beautifully - the v-neck; the visible zipper; huge skirt and sheer long sleeves. Some way or another I have to get use to the pattern. Not that I don't like it. It is just a little different for the New Year's Eve banquet. What do you think about this new little wonder?
As accessories she had chosen to wear the auction-bought tiara and matching earrings. And what a match. The colours of her jewellery and the gown = wauw. Pretty sure this is the first she wear the tiara and earrings at the New Year's Eve banquet. Notice that Mary also flashed her golden diamond bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. She also embraced the style by wearing her black Sergio Rossi clutch (similar in style to this here) and simple suede Gianvito Rossi pumps in black.

I love your Blog so much. Read it every day <3. My english is not so good. Love the dress but suits Mary not so perfect
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words and following the blog :) Means a lot to me to know.
DeleteGown fits perfect but what a shame that we couldn 't admire the most amazing Ruby Parure.I 'm a bit disappointed and sad because I 'm waiting for this spectacular jewellery.As far as I 'm concerned this tiara is pretty but only pretty and much more modest for New Year.
ReplyDeleteIt is always a pleasure to see her wear the red rubies. Nevertheless I am glad to see her wear this other set of jewellery. Makes a much greater match to her new gown and then rubies would. This year it is all about the gown :)
DeleteHave we seen the topaz/citrine ring before? It looks like she bookended the ring with her love bands rings making the band look more substantial. I could be totally wrong, but thats my guess.
ReplyDeleteI can't get a close look at what ring she is wearing. Do you happen to have a picture? :) I have a specific ring in mind, but I can't tell if it is the one she is wearing at the banquet.
DeleteHere's a link to a few photos I blew up on another site. Not the best quality, but it's what I've got. http://cpmarymb.ipbhost.com/topic/13757-new-years-levee-banquet/?do=findComment&comment=325486
DeleteThis is just perfect. I do recognize the ring. It goes way back and has nothing to do with her love bands rings. I know for a fact that she wore the ring at the INDEX Award in 2013, and at the American Scandinavian Foundation's Centennial Ball in New York in 2011 :)
